About SESD SHRM

As your local Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) chapter, the Southeast South Dakota Society for Human Resource Management (SESD SHRM) provides opportunities to enhance your career, expand your professional network, and stay connected to the evolving Human Resources profession.

SESD SHRM was formed in April 2000 and has been meeting monthly ever since. Members from across the southeastern South Dakota region come together to share ideas, discuss current HR challenges, hear from industry experts, gain valuable insights, and support the continued advancement of the HR profession.

Whether you're new to Human Resources or have years of experience, SESD SHRM is your local resource for networking, professional development, HR information, and continued support.

One Membership. Local Connection. National Resources.

Through SHRM's Dual Membership Release (DMR) efforts, the membership and registration process for SESD SHRM and National SHRM has been consolidated into one streamlined experience. This makes it easier for members to connect with their local chapter while also accessing the resources, tools, and benefits available through National SHRM.
